Hey, perhaps we can get this thread out of the BS and into the music section !!!!!

Dave Goulder is the greatest exponent of the railway song bar none IMHO - because he lived and worked on the railway as a fireman the lyrics rise to another level. None of this "freight train, freight train going so fast" or "Rock Island Line is a mighty fine line" or "the runaway train came down the track and she blew" - instead we have long narrow shovels, lengthmen, black fives, Oliver Cromwell and going home with pockets full of coal. Listening to these songs gives a real insight into railway life in steam days

And he's coming down to Broadstairs !!!!!
